The unsteady Reynolds time-averaged Stokes (URANS) approach with the SST k-omega model was used to predict the internal flow field. The total entropy production (TEP) and total entropy production rate (TEPR) were used to evaluate the overall and local hydraulic losses. The results show that the distribution of TEP and TEPR was similar for both impeller cases. Under a forward condition, TEP mainly comes from the impeller and elbow pipe. The high TEPR inside the impeller can be found near the shroud, and it shifts from the leading edge to the trailing edge with an increase in the flow rate due to the decline in the attack angle. The high TEPR inside the elbow pipe can be seen near the inlet, and the area shrinks with an increase in the flow rate caused by a reduction in the velocity circulation. Under the reverse condition, TEP mainly comes from the impeller and the straight pipe. The TEPR of the region near the shroud is obviously higher than for other regions, and the area of high TEPR near the suction side shrinks with an increase in the flow rate. The high TEPR of the straight pipe can be found near the inlet, and declines in the flow direction. These results provide a theoretical reference for future work to optimize the design of the bidirectional axial-flow pump.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24070962","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,11]],"date-time":"2022-07-11T21:57:53Z","timestamp":1657576673000},"page":"962","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Energy Characteristics of a Bidirectional Axial-Flow Pump with Two Impeller Airfoils Based on Entropy Production Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Fan","family":"Meng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center of Fluid Machinery Engineering and Technology, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"},{"name":"Wenling Fluid Machinery Technology Institute of Jiangsu University, Wenling 317525, China"}]},{"given":"Yanjun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center of Fluid Machinery Engineering and Technology, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"149","article-title":"Numerical simulation and experimental analysis of bidirectional shaft tubular pump device","volume":"7","author":"Xia","year":"2017","journal-title":"China Rural Water Hydropower"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"85","article-title":"Numerical simulation and experimental analysis of bidirectional shaft tubular pump device","volume":"47","author":"Shi","year":"2016","journal-title":"Trans.
